Seeking volunteers/abuse survivors

The work is meant to talk about the recovery of trauma, what exactly does that look like? Just how varied are the women/men and their experiences? While I want to weave a message of connections, I also want to share that survival is possible. Difficult, and possible. My approach is a collaborative one. I meet with each volunteer and photograph images based on each persons input and experience. Essentially I will be 'coding' each image in a way that speaks to each individual and in return critically adds to the conversation. I want to load each image with signifiers important to each individual I photograph. I do not feel the need to inform the viewer of the exact details of each person's history (I myself will require information in order to build the image), I prefer the work to stand in place of that conversation. I am flexible and aim to be sensitive to each image created.
